YOUNG JANE YOUNG
How do you shake off a foolish mistake from when you were young?
Recently widowed Rachel Shapiro is on a blind date and can't stop staring at the guy's dirty fingernails during dinner; Optimistic twenty-year-old Aviva Grossman is excitedly choosing between dresses for her first day as an intern; Jane Young is busy organizing a client's wedding but fears the groom is a conniving jerk; thirteen-year-old Ruby writes to her pen pal in Indonesia and speculates about the father she has never known; dutiful Embeth Levin is hiding secrets from her husband, a naughty Congressman - What could these dramatically different people possibly have in common?
Following three generations of women, YOUNG JANE YOUNG is an incredibly sympathetic and smart novel about what it means not just to be alive in the age of Google, but to be a woman of any age. Told in varying voices, emails, and even a Choose Your Own section, with the same astute style as celebrated in the international bestselling THE STORIED LIFE OF A.J. FIKRY, Gabrielle Zevin's enjoyable new novel tackles a young woman's past, reminds us that the internet never forgets, and asks us to forgive our once naïve heroine. With a cast of female characters who are all both funny and tragic, both selfish and sensitive, it's impossible pick a favorite but easy to feel fondness for each. In YOUNG JANE YOUNG, the reader gets to choose their own adventure and even Jane Young's future
